JAFFACAKE LICKABLE WALLPAPER!!

It is currently installed in an office buildings elevator - but want to install it in more locations! (although, you might want to lick it first... no idea who would have licked it before you!)

'Joyville' comes to the BullRing!

'Joyville' visited the bullring in Birmingham, it was a giant chocolate fountain, and although it wasn't actually chocolate to eat, it still smelt like chocolate. So as soon as you entered the bullring you could smell it. people came flocking to see what it was. It was very Willy Wonka, such as occasionally the workers played the piano and danced with the general public, if you queued up you got a photo infront of the fountain and a free cup of melted chocolate!

Beamish - 'The living museum of the North'

In Beamish museum most of the houses, shops and other buildings you see are not new houses made to look like victorian, edwardian and georgian buildings, no. they are buildings from their period, partly taken apart and and taken to the museum and rebuilt. 
Each area of the Museum tells the story of Georgian, Victorian or Edwardian living. You can see how life in North East England changed over 100 years, from a Georgian Agricultural lifestyle to the Industrial Revolution.

There are vintage trams and buses, there are volunteers at Beamish who walk around in clothes from the period. It's not called 'the living museum' for no reason!

Kienholz

The hoerengracht is a walk-in recreation of the notorious Amsterdam red light district as it appeared in the 1980s. 

Olafur Eliasson - Weather project

Olafur Eliasson used humidifiers to create a fine mist in the air using a mixture of sugar and water as well as hundreds of monochromatic lamps which radiated yellow light. The ceiling of the hall in the Tate was covered with huge mirrors, in which visitors could see themselves as tiny black shadows against a mass of orange light. Millions of visitors came to view the exhibition where many decided to lay on their backs on the floor and bask in the light as if they were basking in the suns rays. 

Louise Bourgeois

Maman and was created in 1999 by Louise Bourgeois made of bronze, stainless steel and marble, the arachnid is one of six original pieces.

This piece was displayed outside the Tate during her exhibition. 

I think that Louise Bourgeois work like this is a simulation of the emotion fear. 

Cloaca - Wim Delvoye

Cloaca by Wim Delvoye is a man made system. You feed it real food that humans eat and it goes through all the stages our body does digesting, at the end of the system it creates faeces the same as human faeces which he wraps in cellophane which he sells for $1000 each.
